Pretty solid game for the Oilers. Got good goaltending, special teams scored timely goals, defensively they played fairly stingy, had a physical edge. To win in the playoffs you usually have to grind it out rather than run and gun. That's exactly what they did and that's how you win in the playoffs.
Kulikov had a few bad giveaways but it's his second game on a new team. They will happen. Better to get them out now.
I thought Neal looked better. That is not saying a hell of a lot but it's probably the best he looked skating wise in my opinion. I am not sure I would keep him in when Khaira comes back but in the playoffs, you need options.
I thought Kahun looked decent again on McD's line. He seems to know how to play with McD. Get McD the puck, get the hell out of the way, be ready. He can pass the puck pretty well and seems to have offensive skill. Knows how to get back defensively which is important when playing with McD. It's only 2 games but so far so good.
I thought last night was one of the better games for Nuge in a while, even before the injury. They need to get him going.
I thought Koskinen was excellent. Hadn't played in a long time, comes in and was very good.
The team looks good, looks like they know how to play. Looks like they are capable of grinding it out and locking it down when you need too or they can play run and gun. While not elite, I don't see a glaring hole on defense. I think they have 2 goalies who are not elite but playing well and capable of giving the team good starts. I am pretty happy at the moment.
